Support plotting with uxarray?

What is this new feature?

Is there interest or energy to support uxarray features in the ADF?

I was super excited to drop some land specific variables into the ADF and have the package work! When using the raw output from an f09 grid, @justin-richling illustrated the package works for a handful of land variables. When I switched to coupled model output on the ne30 grid, where plotting and calculation of global means for tables didn't work. This could be handled with code that handles:

• Regridding presents some technical challenges on the land side, since we can't just use bilinear interpolation. This isn't a huge issues, but in some ways I'd prefer to just use the native history output for diagnostics instead of having to regrid everything before proceeding with diagnostics. Alternatively, we could use, which
• uxarray offers possibilities to make maps and calculate global sums easily. One challenge could be having to support slightly different workflows for structured vs. unstructured history output. I'm not sure how to design this from a software perspective that's simple to support / maintain?

see example below that reads in climatology file from ADF and makes a plot on the native resolution.

Not sure if this is a broader CUPiD issue @TeaganKing and @mnlevy1981

Assistance required?

Yes, I am requesting a new feature but won't have time to develop it

Extra info

Will need to add the variables area and landfrac to single variable timeseries for land model output. These are needed to calculate global (and hopefully regional) sums/means.
